Trips to Ponce

A trip to Ponce is discovering one of the most picturesque enclaves of Puerto Rico, it's looking back and traveling to the past through a stately city that encompasses history, tradition, and heritage. Reaching Plaza de las Delicias, admiring the white Catedral de Guadalupe, and visiting the museum of the old Parque de Bombas, an emblem with its characteristic red and black colors, is something you must do in Ponce. Walk through its mansions of traditional Creole architectural style until you breathe the oldest colonial air at the Casa de la Alcaldía and step into the neoclassical Teatro la Perla, which adopted the name from the common nickname given to this city: La Perla del Sur. There must be a reason for that, don't you think?

“Did you know that Ponce hosts one of the largest indigenous archaeological sites in the Caribbean?”

Visiting Ponce means discovering its over 4,000 works by painters like El Greco or Velázquez in the Museo del Arte, means strolling along the Caribbean Sea at La Guancha, and tasting its traditional street food enjoying the sea breeze from the boardwalk. But it's also here in Ponce where the oldest carnival in Puerto Rico is celebrated. One of the most famous in the entire Caribbean! The Port of the Americas, the gateway to the New World via the southern coast of the island, holds attractions here and there. Will you come to one of the most beautiful cities in Puerto Rico?
